Going back over the years we've seen some turkeys come and but considering that we've also had so world renknown managers and destroyed them all here my list of the ones I remember

Billy McNiel - good solid manager reasonable success in jockland and after us his career spiralled downhill rapidly

Brian Horton - never really did much after us mainly lower league stuff

Frank Clarke - sent him potty after us now working for FA so we are lead to believe

Joe Royle - good solid manager lots of success mainly with oldham and modertae success with everton but never really did much after us kinda plodded around at Ipswich.

Sven Goran Erricsson - Coverted manager achieved accolades in every country's he's been in. Destroyed by big Frank after he took a dislike to him. Upon leaving us last seen doing an impression of managing Mexican national team

Mark Hughes good up and coming manager before he came, had the nuclues of a good top 10 team when he came which he's now destroyed bu his own petulance and trying in a last ditch attempt to buy a new team to cover his own reputation.

Can't really think of any more I cant recall the Bond anyone else of any significance
 
Having read posts on here are you really asking that question..?

But things might have changed with the Sheikhs in charge, I hope so at least.

You missed off Kendall, Pearce, Machin and Coppell(there is a topic I did yesterday that lists them all for the last 30 years)

Kendall I almost forgot Kendall. Never thought Machin did much pre and post managing us.
Having 2nd thoughts about Frank Clarke he did take Forest down and never did much with them
 
Kevin Keegan ???

took us straight back up,

finished 9th in first season back,

yeah, towards the end it started to go downbank but surely he's the nest manager weve had in recent years ?
 
Peter Reid - 2 x 5th places. What we'd do for that now. Calling Thailand.....
